GaS (beta phase Gallium sulfide)

GaS Gallium Sulfide GaS (beta phase) is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of ~2.6 eV. The layers are stacked together via van der Waals interactions and can be exfoliated into thin 2D layers. α-GaS belongs to the group-13 post-transition metal monochalcogenides.
